VIDEO: 'This Is Not America': SWAT Team Evicts Grandmother, Community Fights Back

By Van Jones and Marianne Manilov

Day after day, the media and government ignore an ongoing national tragedy: a tsunami of foreclosures is still sweeping millions of Americans out of their homes. As many as three million American families this year will hear a terrifying knock on the door: a law enforcement officer will tell them to get out, because a bank won't work out a fair deal and allow them to stay.

But one remarkable grandmother this month refused to go quietly.

3. This is America all right
The courts issue eviction orders without even verifying the validity of the paper work.

4. BofA is scum
They refused payment because her name wasn't on the mortgage. Yeah, like a bank EVER refused a payment for something.

No, they wanted that FORECLOSURE. And they sent in the SWAT team to get it.

Rochester's tax dollars at work.
